Long haul
Today, I’ve had an irregular period my whole life. I was on birth control and took out my IUD in January. I’ve had my period ever since. It’s going on 5 months now. FML

Today, I figured out how my birth control works. If you're on your period for four months straight you can't have sex, so you won't be pregnant. FML

Today, I was told that since I've had only three or four periods since 2013, there's 60 periods worth of blood clotted in my uterus. They gave me medicine to make it all come out in one week. FML

I've had even enough
Today, I started my period. Unfortunately, my last period only ended six days ago. PCOS sucks. FML

Today, exactly 28 days after I started my last period, I started a new period. This would be perfectly healthy and normal except that my last period was 24 days long. This has happened every month this year. FML

Today, I found out that after using several types of birth control, and being paranoid about pregnancy, I've been infertile for years. FML

Go deep
Today, it's been one week since I went to get my birth control renewed. It also marks 16 days until I get the half that broke off in my uterus removed. FML

Make it stop
Today, I went to the doctor because I have been getting my period every week and a half and they are ridiculously heavy. He then spent the entire time discussing painkillers (I'm allergic to most) and when I asked to be put on birth control, he said I'd need another appointment for that. FML

Today, I realized that without fail, even if I'm not supposed to get it, I get my period just in time for vacations. FML

Go with the flow (haha, get it?) But no, that is seriously awful.

I'd choose pregnancy over nonstop period...

Are you using the implant? Cuz that happened to me too. I hope for your sake you end up better than I did, cuz I eventually had to get it taken out because my period just never stopped.

The same thing happened to me, except I was taking them to stop having my periods because of iron deficiency.

Before I started birth control. I had a nine week period. Three pads being changed every 30 minutes and I still bled through my clothes Try a different pill!! I take pills with FE In them. They help slow down the intense cramping, the long periods, and the huge flow! Good luck!

I feel your pain! When I went on birth control my period didn't stop for three months straight, AND I got a UTI. Needless to say I stopped; hope you stopped it, too.
